People need to understand that when you fly into another country that you're not just going to a place where people have funny accents and funny culture. It's not some theme park.
When tourists screw with their cultural shit they will face real consequences and no one can help them. People think the embassy or the rep of their nationality is a free pass to do whatever. You are nothing in the scheme of things. This isn't a hollywood movie. The embassy doesn't give two shits about you unless it becomes a major political inconvenience to them.
You see people behave like twats all the time in even friendly tourist destinations and they break down like this dumbass when they realize that long jail sentences with rice gruel or a severe beating or even death awaits.
North Korea is an abhorrent place but I also think Saudi Arabia is a shithole too but you'd have to be a real moron to go to either place and violate their rules too.
